INTRODUCTION to the sruUDY of AR-

ANALYTICAL ARCHEOLOGY. 
HE mot ancient work of this kind 
-j3s that of Baudelot de Dairval, en- 
tiled, On the Utility. of Travels, ‘The 
author was a celebrated advocate in the 
Parliament cf Paris, in which capital he 
was born in 1626. Having been called 
to Dijon by a law procefs, he there devot- 
ed to agreeable fiudies the moment$ of 
leifure which his ferious occupations af- 
forded him. In vifi:ing the cabinets and 
libraries, which were pretry numerous in 
that city, more efpecially that of the 
Prefident Bouhier, he acquired a tafe for 
antiquities; and, by degrees, this tafte 
became a paffion. His refidence there 
was productive of the above work, the 
title of which frequently mifleads thofe 
into whofe hands the book falls, fince the 
author, who had never been further than 
from Paris to Dijon, cannot be fuppoled 
to have entered into any great details on 
travels, Accordingly, he confines himf:lf 
to 2 few words on the advantages which 
refult from them, and on the idea enter- 
tained of them by the ancients. His ob- 
fervations relate almoft exclufively to an- 
tiquities, in confidering which, he points 
out the refearches a man of /etters fhould 
prepofe to himfelf, when he engag-s in 
that fiudy, and clafies. methodically the 
objects he ought to notice. He treats 
each of them feparately ; and in this point 
of-view his work may be confidered as 
an introduction to arch-ography. He 
fpeaks, in the firt place, of refearches 
after medals; next of infcriptions, fia 
tues, houfehold gods, ancient paintings, 
architecture, precious ftones, and manu- 
feripts ; and, laftly, of the medals them- 
felves. Enough has been cited to prove, 
that he might have adopted a better or- 
der, by combining what he has faid re- 
IntroduGtion to the Study of Archealogy.

lative to medals, with the refearches after 
them; and by placing the manu(cripts 
afer the infcriptions, and the bas-reliefs 
after the ftatues. The articles are, in 
every infance, far from being complete ; 
and provided even that they were fo at 
the time when the work was publithed, 
the acquifitions which have been fince 
made to the fcience would require a Con- 
fiderable number of additions; On the 
whole, however, this production is intruc. 
tive, and may be confideres as a tolerably 
good introduction. ‘Ihe author has in-~ 
terfperfed in it feveral fingular obferva-_ 
tions, which are peculiar to himfelf, and 
has reftored many paflages of the ancients. 
The firt edition of this work appeared. 
in 1686: it was reprinted at Rouen in 
1727, and was tranflated inio feveral 
languages. [tis accompanied by a great 
number of plates, which render the pe- 
rufal of it more interefting. Dairval was 
author of feveral differtacions publithed 
in the Memoirs of the Academy of Belles 
Lettres, in the fifth volume cf which his 
eulogy is to be found, He died in 1722. 
A wall mere important. work is chat of 
Ernefti, entitled Archeologia Litteraria ; 
Literary Archeology. There have been 
feveral diftinguifhed men of letters of the 
above name; but the one in queftion is 
the celebrated John Anuguftus Eraetti, 
one of the foundeft. critics. of the age. 
He is the author of excellent editions of 
Homer and Tacitus, and likewile of an 
editton of the Greek Lexicon of Hederi- 
cus, publifhed at Leiofc. A Collection 
of Difcourtes and Academical Evlogies, 
which he pronounced on different occa- 
fions, and many other jullly efleemed 
works, were alfo publithed by him. 
Fora confidcravle time, John Auguitus 
Einefti delivered, at Leipfic, lectures on 
the belles lettres ; but, on bis return from 
Italy, and atter having attended the 
courles of lectures on antiquities, given 
by Berger, at Wittemberg, he himfelf 
gave fimilar ones at Leiphe during feveral 
years. I: was for the ule of his auditors 
that he compofed his Literary Arche 
ology. 
This title feems to indicate that the 
work treats paiticularly of the hitory of 
archeology 5 of the literati who have dif- 
tinguifhed themfelves ‘in this defcription 
of knowledge, and of the compofitions 
they have drawn up. The aim of the 
author was, however, to point out, that 
it did not enter {9 much into his plan to 
confider antiquity in its relation to a tafte 
for the arts, as with a reférence to luerary 
purfuits and acquirements. He thus en-
